St. Isaac’s Cathedral

St. Isaac’s Cathedral is one of the biggest Orthodox churches in Russia. The Cathedral was named in honour of St. Isaac of Dalmatia, who was (GREAT) respected by Peter I as he was born on St. Isaac’s day. The first wooden church was built in 1710. Later the (CONSTRUCT) of a new cathedral began. A lot of (FAME) architects took part in creating the cathedral which was opened to public in 1858.
(TOUR) from all over the world come to see the cathedral every day. They can go inside and enjoy the (AMAZE) interiors of the building. Little do they know how much the cathedral suffered during the bomb attacks of the Second World War.
The services were revived in the cathedral in 1990 and take place regularly on big (RELIGION) holidays and Sundays.
